The Washington Post, I think it was, ran another article calling for an end to the Electoral College.  It occurred to me to comment that if that happened, we might find that there were a billion eligible voters in Philadelphia.  The Democrats could get enough votes in Philly to win every national election in perpetuity.  Everyone would know it was bullshit, but if no one did anything, if none of our leaders led, if none of our law enforcement officials enforced the laws and none of our judges judged, why would it not continue?  It will continue until stopped.  Obviously.  Yesterday would have been a better time to stop it, but today will work.

If you take that basic concept, and apply it to the States, where for now it resides, the concept remains.  Are we going to allow a handful of cities to grant the Presidency to a fraudulent candidate?  All it really takes is one city in each State to cheat, and every office becomes purchasable and thus for sale to the highest bidder.

And I will emphasize that point: we are wondering why our leaders are such fucking cowards.  Why is Brian Kemp obviously failing to do his basic duty, as a Governor, as a Republican, and as a human being?  The simplest answer is that he is corrupt.  It may be that to win any race anywhere, in the age of Dominion, you have to pay the counters.  You might have to promise favors.

We can’t know how long this has been going on, or how bad it is, but it is obviously getting worse.  I told someone this morning this is like watching a horror movie.  I had that same feeling when I read William Shirer’s “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”.  Hitler should have been stopped so many times.  He should have been stopped perhaps a dozen times.  But at every inflection point, someone failed.  Someone had a failure of courage, or principle, or intelligence.  None of what happened should have happened, but it all did.  And it was like reading a horror novel, whose ending you know, but which remains terrifying every time.

We are in that time now.  I feel that strongly.

We need a term that touches science, which is to say touches measurement, for building “life” in a society, which is to say a felt sense of belonging, purpose and pleasure; the things, in other words, which contribute to happiness when present and subtract from it, in most people, when absent.

One idea: what percentage of people in a society are glad to meet the day and go out in the world to live their lives, to do their things? HOW glad? Or how filled with dread?

Let us say an average person greeting the day with average but not enormous happiness is one LEU. That person will grow a little, contribute a little, and have a little something yo look back on at the end of the day.

How, we can ask, does any given policy affect LEU’s at large and in aggregate. Teaching people Positive Psychology, or Kum Nye, would almost certainly generate vastly more LEU’s than giving them huge raises and more work.

What got me thinking about this, and I am mostly playing, is this question: how do we measure the lost pleasure, the lost purpose, the lost connection which necessarily attend all these lockdowns, all these imposed constraints?  Saving objective lives cannot and should not be the only consideration. The Swedes have pointed this out well.

In America everything is measured. Perhaps we need an acronym that purports to be scientific to recover our basic humanity.

This is vital to the future of America, and by extension global freedom.

China is OBVIOUSLY the greatest threat to everything we value.  I have viewed the Russia bullshit for some time as simple misdirection.  It’s a magic trick.  You get people to look one way, while you do the shit they don’t want to see in the other direction.  What better way to move the focus from China than by screaming about Russia?

In this video, the Chinese are BRAGGING about buying off Joe Biden;  

I ask again: where are our protectors?  Where are the honest, serious, sober people who love, value, respect and feel a need to defend our system?  Our soldiers I trust–at least below the General level–but everyone else seems to be not just for sale, but for sale cheap.  Whores everywhere.

 The more our manipulators can get us to shrink our expectations—perhaps I should say increase— as far as acceptable levels of safety, the more government they can justify.

It is a truism that the larger the govwrnment the smaller the people, but the converse, the bottom up, holds as well: the smaller the people—the more timid, cautious, confused and other-directed the people— the more they will DEMAND more government.

And it seems obvious that the “morality” our kids are being taught is that the weaker and smaller the persons, the more prestige they have. If you are a designated victim in three ways, you are simultaneously proclaiming your essential helplessness—your GREATER helplessness relative to the rest of us normies—AND your importance at the same time.

Nothing more pernicious to emotional well being could be imagined. I can’t, in any event. Being “intersectioal” is literally to be given a soapbox from which to DEMAND more government, less freedom, less responsibility, and ultimately to abdicate any chance of a healthy self respect and sense of personal agency outright. You are in the state of being “done to” and rather than rise above it you cry, like an infant, for someone to come rescue you and do to you in a better way.

It is obvious to me that most black ghettos are a wasteland of deep emotional scars. Some of them do derive ultimately from past racism, but most of them come from right now, from mothers unable to meet their childrens needs, from violencein the streets, from the ignorance that follows a failing educational system, from the lack of good jobs.

And I think much of this desire to destroy the past, among white Legtists,comes from their fear of the present. They do not want to know what people are capable of.  More than anything they do not want to know that all the evils of the past, all the inhumanity—so-called—still lives on in them. They fear the past because they rightly fear themselves.

 is greeting each day with faith, with openness; by giving it a chance, and finding what good you can in it.

And what are you rebelling against?  The despair we are all prone to.  Rebellion is always an affirmation, too.  It is a definitive choice.  Rebels are people who CHOOSE, very consciously, to believe one thing, and not another.

And I don’t think this contradicts what I said yesterday.  The difference between mustard plants and human beings is that we CAN choose to give up.   We CAN choose to say: “I will NEVER grow to be a mustard plant.  It is simply too much.  The path is too steep.  That is too far, too much growth.”

Faith is hanging in there.  Rebellion is choosing to enjoy the ride, despite “all that”.

And all the better if you wear a leather jacket and ride a Harley.

 Never curse your blindness when you learn to see. Be gracious, and just accept the gift.

Humankind, I feel, is the only force in our universe with an interest in punishment. Pain begets pain, and our natural inclination is to pleasure, to expansion, to challenge, to joy and to love.

 Faith is really openness.  The opposite of faith is not doubt, but rigidity.  It is false certainty, bought at the price of  losing one’s connection with life.  It is a flimsy shelter, defended all the more violently for it.

Faith is not believing, really.  It is putting all worries from your mind and living  simply and honestly, forgetting tomorrow, forgetting yesterday, and rushing headlong in the experiences–good and  bad–of each day.

The mustard seed does not need to believe to increase in size a hundred or thousandfold.  It simply has to continue doing what is in its nature every day and, given the right climate and nutrients, everything else takes care of itself.

At the most basic level our task is to simply keep living.  That is, I think, sufficient.  Life is hard enough without compounding it endlessly with added weight.

“Sufficient unto the day are the evils therein.”

I have to say the New  Testament seems to be opening up to me a bit.

 It would not be hard to listen to all the nay-sayers now.   We have Republicans–at least people who call themselves Republicans and who used our donations to get elected–saying there is no fraud.  Joe Biden won.  Nothing to see.

I would remind all of you, in the face of this gaslighting BY OUR OWN SIDE that the media has been claiming for four years that Donald Trump got elected because 12 Russians were on Facebook.  Or something.  It’s never been clear, and they have never really cared.  

I see Moscow Mitch thrown around, which is, to throw in an Orwellianism, doubleplus stupid.  One, Trump had nothing to do with Russia, and two McConnell  had even less than nothing.  It is literally careless, thoughtless, irresponsible fools babbling in their cribs until they chance on something they like the sound of.

I will remind you that the Clintons belong in jail  for many reasons. Hillary belongs in jail for having that server, for destroying evidence after it was subpoenaed, and for handling classified data that would have put any career soldier in Leavenworth for decades.

All the Clintons belong in jail for graft and misappropriation of funds.  I think even Chelsea belongs in jail for using money intended for starving  and homeless Haitians for her opulent wedding.

Joe Biden belongs in jail for helping  frame Michael Flynn. So too do Barack Obama and James Comey.  Joe Biden also belongs in jail for taking on the order of billions in bribes.  His son belongs in jail for being a pedophile creep, and for helping with all  the corruption.

John Brennan  belongs in jail for helping with the whole Russia dossier, which amounts to the CIA Director more or less openly–we KNOW pretty much what happened–trying  to lead a coup against his own  government, which is illegal in many ways.

And Jeffrey Epstein, who had sex tapes of nearly everyone, was murdered in a maximum security prison, where he was expected to be murdered, and the perpetrators got away with it.  The FBI canned it.

You are not crazy.  There WAS an absolutely mind boggling, staggering amount of voter fraud.  The FBI no longer works for the American people.  Our Justice Department no longer dispenses justice.

I have no idea what the future holds,  but the present should always contain the truth–as much of it as we can see and deduce–to the extent possible.

I have three prayers I say daily.  I pray for the ability to see, to know what to do, and for the  courage to execute my duties with fidelity.  My future may contain little or no mercy, but I cannot see any other way to live but with fidelity and courage.  Everything else is a suicide, and I fear losing myself, my integrity, more than anything.

“All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.”

― Edmund Burke

And I will note that he was most likely referring to the birth of what became Communism, in the French Revolution.

Do we have good people out there still?  Senators and Congresspeople, both at the State and national level?  Or will they simply hand our nation over to cheaters, crooks and liars, and in so doing betray their Party, their people, the rule of law, and every principle of decency they ever ought to have learned?

Will we be betrayed, all of us?  When peaceful means are exhausted, why would alternative strategies not start appearing?  And how will all the troubles that may come from that not be the direct responsibility of those who had the opportunity and duty to do the right thing, and who chose instead the paths of cowardice and dereliction?

 EVERYTHING that is needed to turn us from a free and prosperous nation into an oppressed and impoverished nation is in place.  Many if not most of our “leaders” are crooks, idiots or cowards.  Our court system is not working to evaluate evidence of wrongdoing.  Our law enforcement is not investigating these crimes AT ALL, as far as I can tell, and self evidently the media is enacting Pravda levels of disinformation and censorship.  Nearly all media outlets are complicit, and certainly those viewed by probably 90% of Americans.

This is Rudy Guiliani, and–surreally–implicitly our President, going directly to the American people with evidence which is being largely suppressed nearly everywhere.
